  What is being "worldly"

  by Burger Time in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  yes i know what the jw definition is of being worldly, but seeing people who grew up and their stories it got me thinking; is worldliness just as bad in house as out?

  as an example, dating.

  ok almost everyone i know still did the same thing worldly kids did when they dated only you had to take one little extra step to get some alone time with your sweetness.

  i'm still up early hours in the morning, because i'.

  so upset with what my mum said to me on the phone today.

  she told me she got the sack a week ago because her boss didn't agree with my mum being a jehovah's witness and that she lets 'children die' because of the no blood rules.

  reason for leaving

  by winnie in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we did not swallow the new light theory at all but it did get me thinking.

  lets presume jws are right and they claim to be inspired by god what does that say about god?is it just a game for him they must be having a ball in heaven changing the rules halfway through a game even if jws were right i would not want to be part of a god that does that.i was raised a jw and to be honest i enjoyed it for me it was a great way of life but there comes a time when in good faith you can not justify to yourself that it is the truth never held any hatred for jws until i left and then i saw them in a different light they by they i mean my family have put all there energy into applying there love towards me by shunning me my wife and there 5 grandchildren as ive said if god is dirrecting them then i dont want anything to do with there god.

  this new light will have little or no effect on jws all thats left is rank and file who if by now havnt left never will and new converts who have no idea what used to preach.

  feelings of guilt

  by confused and lost in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  as some of you are aware i am in the early stages of doubting the wts as the only channel of truth.however i am assailed by feelings of guilt.am i being seduced by the words of disgruntled witnesses or ex-witnesses or am i truly doubting !

  !maybe some of you felt this way in the early stages of your "defection" from the wts.sometimes i feel as though i am rejecting god and his organization but other times i feel so strongly that the wts has misled me and is acting to control my "loyalty" by vieled threats of destruction at armageddon.you see prior to becoming a jw i had no religious affiliations.i knew nothing about the bible or god.so for 20 yrs i have only known watchtower teachings and un-learning 20yrs of this is making me so indesicive.am i doing the right thing or not ?

  my only solace is prayer.i have prayed to god to show me in some way what the truth really is.i must admit that these prayers have been the most heartfelt i have ever said.have others felt this way and if so how did they deal with it ?i would truly appreciate some feedback.
